Despite bringing an end to coach Branko Ivanković's third spell in charge earlier in the week, Dinamo did not look like a club in crisis. Seemingly eager to impress stand-in boss Zoran Mamić, they piled the pressure on PSV, but while El Arbi Hilal and Junior Fernándes had plenty of sights of goal, Przemysław Tytoń kept a clean sheet relatively comfortably.

Tytoń's goal was peppered with shots before the break; Ivo Pinto fired over and the Polish goalkeeper twice had to be alert to deny the menacing Hilal, making a save after the Algerian forward wrong-footed his marker outside the box, and then keeping his nerve to block after the Croatian champions were momentarily four-on-two in the PSV area.

Dinamo's defensive anchor man Josip Šimunić showed all the wisdom of his 35 years to hook a couple of dangerous balls away to safety before the break, and it was a measure of Dinamo's resolve that PSV did not get a shot on target until the 54th minute: a forceful Stijn Schaars free-kick which Oliver Zelenika caught with minimum fuss.

Fernándes snatched at a few chances at the other end, and Duje Čop blasted a shot against team-mate Arijan Ademi with the PSV rearguard creaking, but the visitors could easily have snatched a win. Memphis Depay twice fizzed in powerful free-kicks, drawing a save from Zelenika with the second, after Ola Toivonen's header had stretched the goalkeeper. Ademi had Tytoń scrambling with a shot at the death, but PSV survived to move second in the group.
